The UN Human Rights Council will debate a contentious draft proposal on religious hatred in Geneva tomorrow in the wake of burning of Holy Quran in Sweden.
In a draft resolution presented by Pakistan on behalf of the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the group described the burning of the Quran in Stockholm last month as “offensive, disrespectful and a clear act of provocation” that incites hatred and constitutes a human rights violation.
Nineteen OIC member countries are also voting members of the 47-member council, and other states such as China have aligned with their draft resolution.
